It sucks because there is a guide book for how to get out of this, and it's called what is to be done - the way out is there, people have fought heroically and won victories against some very intense and long odds like our comrades in Vietnam and Cuba, it's not a dream it's a reality right now on our green earth... but of course it's hopeless if you think of it only as an individual instead of a part of a mass, like yeah there is no hope for the future if your plan is to take on the problems of the world as just, like, a regular guy. But there is hope yet for the working class.
